I have unlimited plus my birthday off, once a quarter we all take off, a week for 4th of July, two weeks for Christmas and new years plus twenty holidays.
Pretty standard now days. The only limit is I have to get my work done and it can’t be more than 4 weeks at a time. Oddly it can’t be used if you’re sick. You have to use sick time for being sick. That’s only 12 weeks but that’s when disability would kick in.
Wait, so you get “unlimited” paid vacation days? That sounds like complete corporate bullshit to me… Who decideds when/if “work is done” or not? Even if your work isn’t done (there is always more to do), you still deserve vacation/days off.
How many paid vacation days do people take on average a year? How many did you take this year/last year? What happens if your company decides that you have taken too many vacation days this year, will they mention it you want to discuss wages? What happens if someone doesn’t take a minimum number of vacation days a year, will they be forced to take them or will they get praise for being a “hard worker”?
Oh please, then you could just “decide” to take every other month off and nobody would care, you would get paid the same,etc , you can’t tell me that’s the case…
If you had read my comment, you’d see we are forced to take a eeek in July, two weeks for the end of the year
Right, so 3 weeks vacation and you can’t even decide when to take them. Sounds like a pretty shitty deal to me…
I take very little time off.
It seems that way, yes, so what good does “unlimited vacation” do?
I feel like I’m already off most the time.
Are you a hiring agent or something? What’s next, are you going to tell me that your company is like “a family”?

Maybe someone like you would do that but I enjoy working. If I don’t have my deliverables in then I would get terminated for performance. I take plenty of time off.

No. those are in addition to as much vacation as you want.

It allows me to take off as much as I want. With three weeks mandatory and twenty days for holidays, I take another 4 weeks off. How much more time does someone need?

No, it’s a job. We also have 9 months of paternity leave as well. My coworker was out most of the year spending time with his newborn.
I only got 7 a year and I live in Europe…
That’s 7 more than most Americans get
No but jokes aside where are you from so I don’t move there
The average American has 11 vacation days a year.

This is pretty standard for any job I’ve had.
Unlimited ?

I decide.
On average? 4-8 weeks.
